I don´t agree that 18-55 WR is a good lens. In fact I am very dissapointed. At 18mm wide open it sucks and you have to push it to minimum 5.6. I does not have the color and contrast that one could expect from a god lens. I regret that I bought it and I almost never use it anymore. Cheers

I tend to agree, I don't like my 18-55 WR either and very seldom use it. I bought a 18-55 DAL to see if it might be better (sample variation etc), and it is better, still not that impressive though. I have a canon ef-s 18-55 IS kit lens and very happily use that, although unfortunately not on a pentax....:-(
